Of Love & Loss

For dear Amanda @ Oliveaux

We do not have to rely
upon memories
to recapture the spirit
of those we have loved and lost -
they live within our souls
in some perfect sanctuary
which even death
cannot destroy -

From The Thoughts of Nanushka Vol VII-XII - Nan Witcomb

  8. I will save the beautiful words to share with others when I am of need. The quotation is so very touching and it is sometimes hard to express my thoughts well. It puts to words what I am sometimes feeling.

And none will hear the postman's knock
Without a quickening of the heart.
For who can bear to feel himself forgotten?
